Hey everyone, hope you're enjoying Christmas

I thought that to help me learn to draw if anyone wants some digital art doing I'll try my best to do what you want for free!

Assassin:

Illharess (Necromancer):

If you would like some character art just give me a screenshot in a pose that's as close to what you want as possible, some background info, and any extra details you'd like changed or added and I'll try my hardest.

Requests
Reigi - M/Elementalist
Kimi - F/Assassin
Lucia - F/Mesmer
Dione - F/Ranger

Thanks everyone

Woody

Wait, you drew it WITHOUT a tablet?! Man you're gonna become soooo good at this! Your talent is shining through, bursting it's way out! Keep at it!

Drelias Melaku · Dec 27, 2010, 04:26 PM // 16:26

O my, that's beautiful. So you drew it with a MOUSE? D:
M
x x
And copied from the Nolani Girls thread because I'm too lazy to retype it...
Character Name: Illharess
Personality: Distant, obsessive (particularly with beauty), lack of sympathy/empathy
Short Story: She grew up in Ascalon, loving how incredibly beautiful it was. She lived a relatively normal life as a Necromancer recruit, but when the Searing destroyed her homeland, it destroyed her as well. She's spent most of her life since traveling the world in search of a place equally beautiful, while trying to improve her own appearance. By allowing her obsession to consume her, she no longer has total control over the dark magic of Necromancy. With each passing day, she loses a bit more of herself.
Pose:
EDIT: O, sorry, screenshot. Attached
Replaced screenshot 765 with 761 because it's better lighting. =P

Thistle Xandra · Dec 27, 2010, 11:27 PM // 23:27

that's great! Can't wait to see more of your stuff

Woodelf Archer · Dec 30, 2010, 02:09 PM // 14:09

@ Drelias, Hey, just an update.

It's taking longer than I thought but should be worth it when it's done.

@ Gemini , Thank you very much!

yes just a mouse, but hopefully not for much longer! Your live stream is really good btw

@ Reigi, I don't know those two characters you posted, but I do know Geralt of Rivia, and he does look kind of like the first. I could do a mix of your character and Geralt if thats okay?

@ Xandra, Thanks! I'll try and get some more stuff up soon

EDIT: Updated the picture to a higher res

Reigi · Dec 30, 2010, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Yes, you can! When I read a book and played the game, I have imaginate that my mage is swordmaster like him

Tommy's · Dec 30, 2010, 02:54 PM // 14:54

That looks good Woody! Epic expression on that skeleton on the right

InfestedHydralisk · Dec 30, 2010, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Omg proooo. I like where the skeleton is looking at.

Drelias Melaku · Dec 30, 2010, 05:20 PM // 17:20

O wow, that is amazing.

I love the way you've done the skirt, too - I'd enjoy the armor more if in-game if it looked like that. The skeletons are definitely a nice touch - and they're so well done! I've tried drawing skeletons before with no luck, so I have some major respect for anyone who can make them work. xD

Looking great so far - thank you very much! <3

InfestedHydralisk · Dec 30, 2010, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Oh and if you ever want to do an Assassin. Please do mine!

Name: Kimi (Asian)
Eyecolor: Brown
Personality: Outside of her missions she is mostly a person who makes the most out of her life, she is also a party animal. In her missions she is pretty serious, but tends to do some sweet talking when she is face to face with someone.
Discription: Kimi has been trained into Ninjutsu since she was 7 (she is now 25 years old). It's not just Ninjutsu that she has been trained into, she has also mastered the Shadow Arts. By which she can walk through the shadows. Fading away in black smoke,completely becoming invisible for a brief moment and being able to create a shadow-ish illusion of herself, just to name a few abilities. Currently she lives in a big city mainly run by criminal orginisations. She is part of a gang to stop all the criminal activities with high-tech Ninja tools including handguns, and their assault team wears modern traditional Samurai suits (so strong that it resists a huge amount of bullets) with mainly an assault gun and a hardened sword. The year this takes place in is around 2075-2100.

That is amazing. And I love that skeleton XD

Let's see...here's my Mesmer.

Name: Lucia Cheval
Eye color: light brown
Born in Ascalon, the youngest of a minor noble family, she grew up as something of a spoiled snob, until she turned 18, rebelled against the arranged marriage her parents set up for her, and decided to join the Ascalon army. There she trained for a while, happy with the fact that she was learning how to actually do something other than sit around, drink tea, and look pretty, but the Searing happened not long after she entered into the Academy. Several years has passed and while she is still the elegant woman she was when she was younger, she's lost any arrogance she had, and instead has become a very caring woman, willing to lend a hand in help where it's needed, though she has something of a dark sense of humor.

Skiasca · Dec 31, 2010, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Looking really nice so far

If you wanted to do a ranger, you're more then welcome to use mine.

Name: Dione
Eye colour: Right eye blue/left eye green.
Personality: Good points: Agile, softly spoken, self reliant, honest.
Bad points: Stubborn, can get over confident.

Description/background story: Quick in thought, movement and marksmanship, Dione is a careful traveller. Born into a village of farmers and hunters on the outskirts of the Jade Sea, she is no stranger to a hard days work. When a slaver unit raided the village, she did all she could help people escape, but was inevitably captured and sold to a Canthan noble within Kaineng City. When the plague struck and her owner succumbed to the outbreak she made her escape, and headed back towards the Luxon capital. After taking numerous jobs as a courier bodyguard, and naga control to name a couple, she took a job of escorting an old monk on a pilgrimage to Shing Jea island, where he confessed his regret of never finishing his travelling journals. Since he was nearing the end of his life she offered to finish it for him to which he excepted. She now travels from place to place, filling out numerous books of all shapes and sizes of her travels, of the people she has met, and the adventures she’s been in.

Additional info: She has a henna red band across her right arm, and wears a jade-beaded necklace.

Edit: Added a pose Ref, in case you wanted something to go by, although I'm more then happy to leave it up to your imagination.

Woodelf Archer · Dec 31, 2010, 06:08 PM // 18:08

Thanks for all the kind words

@ Reigi, awesome, I've really wanted to do something like that, should be good

@ Tommy + Infested, haha! I actually hadn't noticed that! Hopefully he'll keep his bones to himself O.o

Ill make a list so I've got everyone in order

I didn't expect people to ask

Skiasca · Dec 31, 2010, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Wow, that looks great

The glow of the Orb on the surrounding surfaces really makes the image pop. Keep up the good work!

InfestedHydralisk · Dec 31, 2010, 06:23 PM // 18:23

I'd suggest lowering the green reflection on the body. It really takes over too much.
And the skeletons on the bottom aren't actually hit I think, because the hand blocks the light.

But other then that, looks really good!

Drelias Melaku · Dec 31, 2010, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Thank you! <33 It's a bit difficult to see her with the black background, but I think it fits for a Necromancer.

While the green glow fits with in-game lore, I do rather like the white, since she is pretty much entirely grayscale except the flower in her hair. Both versions look very nice, though, and I really appreciate the art. Again, thank you!

I love it!

Woodelf Archer · Dec 31, 2010, 08:47 PM // 20:47

sorry I couldn't resist posting a lighter version just in case you prefer it.
Less Darkness

More Darkness

Thanks for letting me draw your character

it's all experience so perhaps I'll come back to her one day and be able to do something more refined.

Drelias Melaku · Dec 31, 2010, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Thank you - I've saved all versions, and I love every one.

I really like the way the skeletons are drawn. In the first picture with the gray background, I just thought it was a cool effect, and I can see in the finished versions that it's due to the lighting - it makes it believable and eerie. Definitely fitting for a Necromancer, and it makes me want to load up my Aura of the Lich build.

Thistle Xandra · Jan 01, 2011, 10:01 AM // 10:01

That's so cool having the two different versions

I like the lighter one better because we can see all the stuff you drew, but the darker one just has this really awesome vibe to it!
